Alexander Wang Canada - Where do you find your AW?

[muchstuff]

If you're open to buying pre-owned:

-Ebay! Just keep stalking until you find one that fits your criteria*
-Canadian consignment Instagrams: Lavish Vancouver and Forever Red Soles seem to be quite reputable!
-Your local Kijiji: I've seen some Rocco's go for $400 and they were in fabulous condition

*A word of caution when buying from Evil Bay: Make sure you fully do your research about the bag and ask for as many pictures as possible!
I learned my lesson the hard way and got a brand new Rocco for $850, but the deal was too good to be true of course. I received the bag and it turned out be to an older model, without the reinforced leather piping and bubbly pebbled leather :'[
Not to say that the bag is ugly, its gorgeous! I just like the look of the newer leather than the older one. - End rant haha

I buy a fair bit on eBay and have gotten some great bags but new with tags means just that. Doesn't indicate what season, just that the bag is unused, often a showroom model or salesmen's piece. That might be a question to ask before purchasing...but I've gotten some beautiful bags!

Calgary has a great consignment store called Vespucci, I have seen a couple AW bags there before. A friend of mine mentioned that there is a consignment area in The Bay at Chinook Mall that sells preloved designer bags. I am going to go check it out and see if they get any AW. Apparently they are not affiliated with The Bay, but rent a spot there.

I bought my first AW at the Room at the Bay on Queen St. They had a bunch on sale for GREAT discounts happy customer! I love the Bay over Holts because their customer service is so much more laid back, the shop is beautiful and bay rewards! wee! Definitely will be back in a few months
